On Island SG7, one voracious parasite endangers a protected forest and a
small community. But the biologist hired to bring the place into balance is
already compromised—by a too-narrow view of her duties, and—increasingly—by
a love she cannot ignore.
This is the love letter of Peta Sutton, who struggles to perceive the full
complexities of her place in a foreign ecosystem and an extramarital
relationship. As the island roils and the parasites seem to drag people's
worst fears into being, Peta struggles to forge a peace at the heart of
fears that threaten to consume everything.
Aqueduct Press is pleased to announce the release of Never
at Home, a collection of short fiction by L. Timmel Duchamp. This
collection includes stories previously published in the acclaimed
Paraspheres and Bending the Landscape anthology series and
in Asimov’s SF, as well as one hundred pages of previously
unpublished work.
"L. Timmel Duchamp's stories are intense, tricky, heartfelt, and most
of all, interesting; they take on big themes in a clear way, but also at
the same time swirl with complications, moments of poetry, life
itself."

These fourteen story-poems and stories focus on the work that women do
with spinning wheel, spindle, and knitting needles. They are accompanied
by evocative images of these instruments and the cloth they yield
In addition to reworking well-known fairy tales, she has several shining
tales of her own making. Under the fluid sign of danger and
domesticity—Anne Sheldon explores earthly and ethereal regions of
the feminine.
In this first collection of the stories and poetry of Sheree Thomas, memory
is the only force strong enough to counter the terrors of a scarred and
forgetful world.
Rooted in the Mississippi Delta, Thomas' language is the stuff of life and
the struggle to call things by their true names. It reaches through time in
search of the transformation that will allow us to survive diaspora with
memory and soul intact. These shotgun lullabies puncture the walls between
us and our past, the people and their birthright.
Something More and More collects stories about hoodoo women and musicians,
and essays about reading, crowns, and the work of Octavia E. Butler. It
also includes a new interview of Nisi by Eileen Gunn, in which she talks about
editing, being edited, and the competing charms of writing and making music.

Uncanny, sweet, and shot through with fairytale
weirdness, A Broods of Foxes takes Joey Napoleon into
a world as bizarre as anyone’s first adulthood—with a
few differences. Set in a place where time has its own
logic, human and animal is a shifting perspective, and
the people we love are always slightly other—and
better—than we imagined, A Brood of Foxes faces
us with the moral dimensions of environmental
disasters—in a troublingly literal way.
